To find the volume of an irregular solid using the overflow can method, you would first fill the overflow can with water and measure the initial volume. Next, you would submerge the irregular solid in the overflow can, causing the water to overflow. Measure the new volume of water in the overflow can with the solid submerged. Finally, you would subtract the initial volume from the final volume to find the volume of the irregular solid.
Basically two steps. First, you calculate how much volume half the tank would have. Then you simply divide this volume by the rate.
-- Use the length of the cube's side to calculate its volume. -- Divide the cube's mass by its volume. The quotient is its density. The density is 6.25 g/cm3 . Now that you know the answer, you can fill in the missing steps, and learn something at the same time. Is that cool or what !
It depends on whether the steps are completed underneath or hollow. I assume it's like a block of steps filled in completely underneath each step. When the steps are filled in from the floor up, they are a series of cuboids. If we look at the steps side on and imagine lines vertically downwards between the steps, it's like a series of rectangles getting progressively larger. We can calculate the area of each rectangle by multiplying the length by the width as usual. Then if we add the sizes together we have the surface area of the side face of the steps. Then we can just multiply by the width of each step to calculate the volume of the steps. A simple formula can be found for the area of any steps, but it's probably better to understand how it works. Call the width of each step w. Call the depth of each step, that's how far back each one goes before you reach the next, d. And the heights of each step off the floor can be called h1, h2, h3... The formula for the volume of the steps is therefore: (h1 + h2 + h3 +...)*d*w
